Natural rustic materials, including beautiful, highly polished recycled timbers and West Australian stone, emphasise the aesthetic quality of this splendid design that blends with its country surrounds.

A five-bedroom, two-storey house it features a gymnasium, rumpus room, study and a room for wine storage, but the main focus is a lap pool, edged with substantial timber decking, and a barbecue pavilion.

Built to a generous budget, the house displays a high degree of liveability ad appreciation of its surrounds.

Dramatic without being over-powering, the house is typical of its coastal surroundings, near Queenscliff, not only in its simple construction, but its selection of materials and volumetric shapes.
